For #JanuaryInJapan I'm reading Yu Miri's The End Of August (tr. Morgan Giles). Looking at the size of it, it will last me well past the end of January 😹 (but not August, hopefully).
I loved Tokyo Ueno Station, so have high hopes for this, a generation-spanning exploration of nationhood, family, and what it is to be Korean in Japan (Yu Miri herself is of Korean descent). And I believe marathon running figures prominently, so that's another plus. 😊
